This paperback, now with a new Preface, identifies the practice of '(syn)aesthetics' in artistic style and audience response, helping to articulate the power of experiential practice in the arts. This new approach includes interviews with leading practitioners of theatre, dance, site-specific work, live art and technological performance practice.

JOSEPHINE MACHON is Co-editor of 'Performance and Technology: Practices ofVirtual Embodiment and Interactivity' (Palgrave MacMillan, 2006; 2011), 'Sensualities/Textualities & Technologies: Writings of the Body in 21st Century Performance' (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009) and Co-editor of 'The Palgrave Studies in Performance and Technology' series. She is a Lecturer in Theatre at Brunel University, UK. Amongst her practice-based projects, Josephine is currently exploring performance as a medium for research into human relationships with the environment.
